90-year old American cyclist to be stripped of title for failing drug test

[Humble Narcissist]

Many bodybuilders live in a insular environment where narcissism and absurdity become reality.

I think the same of reality Youtube bodybuilding stars like Dana Linn Bailey who claim natty status.  Everyone in the know realizes she is full of shit but how many girls/women think they are going to blow up if they lift weights?  The ones who want that result will be disappointed as it can't happen drug free.  The women who don't want to look like that avoid weight training like the plague fearing they will get huge and neglect one of the most positive activities they could do for their bodies.

It is unfortunate how easily influenced some of us are are and how this sometimes distorts reality.

One huge difference between men and women who abuse androgens is that with men the masculinization is harmonious with their gender. With women, it can defeminize their facial and physical structure, from which there is no recovery. I guess if a woman's goal is to look more like a man, it's all good.

Yes and many women believe they will look like that female bodybuilder if they train at all.  Weight training (drug free) is great for women especially as they get older as it protects against osteoporosis.

Women who take androgens are like men who take estrogen.

I thought of this too. One difference might be that most men who are on heavy doses of estrogen aren't bodybuilders.

Women using male hormones are basically on female-to-male hormone therapy.

Let all athletes take whatever they want.  It eliminates any advantages and at the same time saves money trying to catch guys cheating.  I want to see a bunch of jacked 90 year olds.

So the people with the best contacts and money get the best drugs? And what about the possible negative health effects, A person shouldn't have to risk their health to compete...
The whole idea is to level the playing field and the best way to do that is say "no drugs allowed".

[IRON CROSS]

For "Epitrenbolone" no less! Lol. At 90 its still an pretty impressive fact he is a cyclist and on the juice.

He claims consuming contaminated meat is to blame for the positive test result.

USADA making sure to keep the sport clean and fair. Jones is another story..

The people with the most money and best contacts get the undetectable stuff now.  Wake up, we don't live in a Disney movie.

The No drugs business went out the window as soon as man found
Herbs / coffee etc to improve their performance be it running after
Food or to be stronger.

You must clearly realise there is no equal level playing field
What one team / country can afford wether that be equipment
/ facilitates / sports science / drugs  etc isn’t what all can afford
So how do you make it a level playing field.

Wake up please & Smell the coffee
We don’t & never have lived in an equal & level world.

I doubt any of these pro sports are 'clean'.
